Answer:

<h2>6√2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔEBD and ΔEDC are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{DE}{EB}=\dfrac{EC}{DE}

We have:

DE = a

EB = 18

EC = 4

Substitute:

\dfrac{a}{18}=\dfrac{4}{a}            <em>cross multiply</em>

(a)(a)=(18)(4)\\\\a^2=72\to a=\sqrt{72}\\\\a=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\a=6\sqrt2

Answer:

a^2 = 18 * 4

a^2 = 72

a = 6√2

PLEASE HELP ITS EXTRA CREDIT AND I COULD REALLY USE IT !! BEING TIMED! for each of the following statements, determine if the st
bogdanovich [222]

A. True. We see this by taking the highest order term in each factor:

f(x) = -3x(x-5)^3(x+2)^2 = -3x (x^3 + \cdots) (x^2 + \cdots) = -3x^{\boxed{6}} + \cdots

B. True. Again we look at the leading term's degree and coefficient. f(x) behaves like -3x⁶ when x gets large. The degree is even, so as x goes to either ± ∞, x⁶ will make it positive, but multiplying by -3 will make it negative. So on both sides f(x) approaches -∞.

C. False. f(x) = 0 only for x=0, x = 5, and x = -2.

D. False. Part of this we know from the end behavior discussed in part B. On any closed interval, every polynomial is bounded, so that for any x in [-2, 5], f(x) cannot attain every positive real number.

E. True. x = 0 is a root, so f(0) = 0 and the graph of f(x) passes through (0, 0).

F. False. (0, 2) corresponds to x = 0 and f(x) = 2. But f(0) = 0 ≠ 2.

Write an equation of the translation of y=x^3 that has been moved 2 units up, 3 units to the right, and stretched by a factor of
Yuki888 [10]
Y=(4x-3)³+2

To shift the graph to the right 3 units, we subtract 3 before the exponent.  To shift it up 2 units, we add 2 to the end.  To stretch it by 4, we multiply x by 4 before the exponent.

Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points
Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope = (0+15)/(-1-4)=15/(-5)= -3

the Equation :

y+15= -3(x-4)

or

y+15 = -3x+12

y +3x=12-15

3x + y = -3

so, the correct answer is II only
